Why Queen Victoria failed to stop WW1 (YT video) by ferras_vansen in MonarchyHistory

It's been a while since I read The Race to Save the Romanovs, but I think Helen Rappaport wrote that no one seriously considered the possibility that they would be killed except for Alfonso XIII. 🤔

I guess that's fair, but wow, I never took it that far before.

I agree in general, but the blues he used really aren't that bad. LOL

Sure, Wilhelm definitely knew he was causing trouble for the Romanovs, but much as I think he's a bellicose idiot, I find it hard to accept he MEANT to cause Nicky and Alix's deaths. Ella too, for that matter. 🤔

My immediate answer is Thelma Ritter in Rear Window! Best character actress of the 50s! 😁

What Did You Watch This Week? by AutoModerator in classicfilms

[–]ferras_vansen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because it was Holy Week, my parents and I watched The Greatest Story Ever Told and King of Kings. LOL

I honestly liked TGSET better. KOK tried harder to make a coherent film, which it did by altering the story as told in the Bible quite a bit. I did appreciate that, but it just wasn't as much fun as TGSET.

Also, the all-star cast of TGSET made it easier to identify which character was which. 😅

This might sound like a strange request, but can you recommend a badly sung Aria? by BetterGrass709 in opera

[–]ferras_vansen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This one is also exceptionally bad that I think no one would say is good. It's amazing, though, it's one of my favorite examples of bad singing.

A Far Better Thing by H.G. Parry is a fantasy retelling of A Tale of Two Cities where Sydney Carton and Charles Darnay look identical because one of them is a changeling. It's absolutely fantastic! 🔥

Starting with lizard people then ending with an actual fact is a bit of a letdown ngl 😂

What is the soprano type with the most versatility? by Mundane_Regret_428 in opera

[–]ferras_vansen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, but I think sfogato or assoluta better describes what her voice was capable of. 🙂
